"Since I lost my sight, I have believed that receiving an audio description from someone is a huge advantage, I think of it as an opportunity to see with several pairs of eyes, to have different opinions apart from my own."

Whenever anyone asks why Twitter doesn't have an accessibility feature, or why something is inaccessible, my mind immediately goes to the old "it's harder to add accessibility late than to consider it from the start of the process." We're getting there, there's just a lot to do!
Technology? A window to a world of possibilities.
Join Marce on her journey through assistive technology in this new blog entry. Remember that you can read it in Spanish as well

The White Cane does an excellent job at detecting floor-level obstacles and raising awareness to pedestrians around us, but what about the upper body? Or how can we extend perception beyond the cane’s reach? All this is solved with the Sunu Band. Are you ready to try it out? 😉

Check out the newest episode of On Tech & Vision with @EyeDrCal. Dr. Cal speaks with experts: @Matina_C_K_R from the @UAlberta 's College of Natural and Applied Science, Ben Eynon and Diego Roel from @StrapTech_, Marco Trujillo of @sunu_io and @seavey_sam of @TheBlindLifesam.
As a person living with blindness having to cover up half of the face during the pandemic was quite difficult at the beginning, cutting off on one of the most useful senses, smell. The smell is one sense that helps recognize spaces, people, and even objects.

What are some hacks you created in the pandemic? Share them with the community!
#blindnessawarenessmonth #awareness #livingwithlowvision #retinispigmentosa
Teaching myself how to use the rest of my body to be more aware of my surroundings. When it came to talking with people, I found that using the Sunu Band to know where this person was standing or how far away from me they were, became one of my most useful tools.
Having to stay away from people is quite hard when you have no idea of how far or in what direction this person may be. A life hack that I found for these situations was paying so much more attention to my hearing senses, more than what I already did.
We’re giving away a Sunu Band to celebrate the #Blindnessawarenessmonth and to say a special thank you to all the community down through the years 💚
